Can planes fly on Mars?

My question is very simple, I want to know if the Martian atmosphere is too thin to hold planes up and, if it is thick enough, how high planes could reasonably go. This is considering heat management as a non-issue with the air-pressure being the only problem. Now I don't really understand how planes fly, to the best of my knowledge planes stay in the air by the wings creating a high-pressure zone below and a low-pressure zone above, just note that. Also I would like to know if planes have a proper military use on Mars.
